ActionScript 2.0 :: Navigation Compass - Heading Info From Each Point
Aug 14, 2008
I am working on a concept project where I want to be able to drag out lines over an image of a location (let's say it is an outdoor park)( this image will act as my map) and be able to get compass heading information from each point. To explain further, you will have numerous places to start your course. You click and drag out a line to the first destination, compass information reports at the cursor. You release at the first destination course information reports in a panel outside the map. You can repeat the process to build up successive legs of your course that all reports to the panel outside the map. Other things are planned but this is the initial step. Is there an API or Component out there that I could tailor to work on a map of the scale I spoke of? Any thoughts about where to start.?

I'm trying to get a compass effect and with these script I can, but how can I get some easing effect?
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
myRadians = Math.atan2(_root._ymouse-this._y, _root._xmouse-this._x);
myDegrees = Math.round((myRadians*180/Math.PI));
this._rotation = myDegrees+90;
}

I need the compass pointer in the attached .fla (which indicates wind direction) to tween from one position to the next as the Flash app is updated from an external XML file. The variable which the pointer is currently using is a number 0-360 indicating the degrees on the compass. I have it set up now to point at the exact spot, but it just shifts from one position to the next as the wind direction changes.
Where do I start on this? I've read about importing a tween class and I've looked at a few examples, but the values passed to the tween class for beginning and ending positions are always in an X and Y terminology and they are always absolute values rather than values derived from a constantly-updating variable.
A starting point and some hints as to how to proceed would be helpful. In the meantime, I'll keep researching and experimenting.
Code is:
Code:
var navData:XML;
function GetWeather(evt:Event = null):void
{
var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

Im trying to make a pretty simple website with 6 main buttons that link to a sub menu and then the sub menu, which links to a video....................... but I keep getting this error:Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.The subheading button ('motivations') works if it is displayed in frame one but I dont want it to appear until the main button is pressed (which appears in frame ten). All the buttons work until I move the sub button from frame one to frame ten and then they stop working. I think I have to slightly change the code for the 'motivations' button so it can find it in the main timeline but I would have no idea what to write as this is all russian to meThe action script code in frame one is:
// *************************
// Stop the timeline
stop();

I have some scrolling content (info). I've also made my own scroll bar.I want the scrollBar dragger to be positioned in relation to the info._y as the user scrolls info.I have created two vars: one that worsk out where info._y is as a percentage and the other that works out where the scroll._y dragger should be as a percentage...
Actionscript Code:
var scrollBarPercent = Math.round(scrollBar.dragger._y / [code]........
also onMouseWheel working too.I need a small bit of code that takes the % of info._y and moves the scrollBar dragger to the same % but in relation to the Stage.height...so if projectGalleryPercent = 50%, make dragger._y 50% of Stage.height using scrollBarPercent.

It's been a long time since I've done any work with actionscript, and alas I've forgotten nearly everything. I've tried to look for a tutorial that would explain basic animation with actionscript, but the one that I found on Kirupa was no longer there.
Basically I'd like to do this:On the stage I have a movieclip and I'd like the movieclip to move along the x-axis to a certain point and then back to the starting point again. The moving speed of the movieclip should also be adjustable.

I'm creating a game in flash for a university project, and learning actionscript and programming as I go. I'm very much still at a beginner level - at the moment al I have is some actionscript for drawing rectangles and moving them about the screen. This is what I'm having trouble with at the moment: I have a class called 'Creature', and I want instances of it to interact with each other. I want them to do something when they come within a certain distance of another instance. And I want them to be able to pick a random other instance to get the location of, in order to do something with that information.
What I think I need is: A function for telling the distance between two (x,y) points.
A way of referencing the nearest other instance of the class. And a way of randomly selecting from all of the instances of the class.

How to convert 3d point to 2d point? I've found next formula in Internet(camera is situated in origin)
[Code]....
But these formulae give me strange result when z are less than zero(z<0) I need build line from A(100,100,100) to B (100,100;-100) As you can see these equations give really strange result when I try to convert B point in 2D dimension

i have the follow issue :
I have a point which is setted at the border on a component, with changed transform point to the center of a component in order to match the component rotation.
the important part is when i try to get the point XY after rotation - they remains the same as before rotation.
how to get XY, after rotation ( changeing point.rotation property to specific degrees of rotaion )

I am using AS2 with Flash 8 Professional So, my problem is that I currently have a man in the middle of the screen, who shoots a line towards the mouse when I click. However, when I use hitTest to see if the line collides with another object, Flash recognizes the line as a large box if it is diagonal, so the hitTest isn't very accurate. The line only satys there for one frame, so I can't have the usual moving-bullet-style. I am either looking for a way to create an imaginary line with AS from the starting point to the mouse and beyond, and tell whether or not this line intersects with an object... or some other way that I haven't thought of to fix my problem. Keep in mind that the line rotates from a center point towards anywhere around it for 360 degrees.

I know some basic trig. but how do i find an angle from an anchor point and a moving point?
adjecent = _root.anchor._x-_root._xmouse;
opposite = _root.anchor._y-_root._ymouse;
hypotenuse = ((adjacent ^ 2)+(opposite ^ 2)) ^ 0.5;

I am trying to develop a Quadratic Bezier Curve using the graphics.curveTo() method. Initially when i drag mouse to draw the shape, i use start point and end point of mouse to draw the curve line. I assume control point at any position below or up to the line. An draw the curve using this control point. some what like:-
[Code]...
Now i add a tip on this curve segment. I have x and y position of tip. I want to change the curve segment by dragging tip. but now i don't have the exact control point according to tip position. If i use tip coordinate as control point it reduce the height of curve and now tip does not lie on the curve segment. What i have to do is calculate the exact control point on the basis of tip coordinate. But i failed to get this point.

I'm trying to figure out how to find a point relative to the center of an object, modified by its rotation. For example, in the attached swf, I've been messing around trying to draw trails to a bitmap, coming out of the thrusters. I didn't have a problem at first, but as the ship rotated, the lines that were being drawn wouldn't remain relative.
http:[url]....
I'm sure this is because I have no idea what I'm doing, and I've just been sort of idioting my way through it. That aside, is there an easy way to find the point I'm looking for? For instance, say I want a point at Y -14 of my ship, but I want that to remain relative to the ship as it rotates.

From the Robert Penner code given in this tutorial: [URL] i was wondering why controlx and controly has to be so complicated. I've tried changing it to just _root._xmouse but it messes up. I don't get this, shouldn't the curve point be the same point as the mouse?

Basically what I like to ask is how to move a object from one point to another point based on the point tat you have clicked on a graph. For example, If I click on this coordinate (2,3) on graph, the object (movie clip) will move to that point.
